Developing Healthy Eating Habits

Take Charge!

You are the one factor that holds the key to yourself successfully developing healthy eating habits. If it’s not to be, it’s also up to you.

In other words, you are the one person that’s most important in your quest.

How quick or slow you will be finally be able to declare that you are a “healthy eater” will depend on what your eating habits are like at the moment.

So, why is it important that you start developing healthy eating habits?

It’s simple. If you want to look better, feel better, live longer, prevent and combatlifestyle diseases, then developing healthy eating habits is for you. I have done this myself. I’ve been there. I was someone who had always thought I could eat anything. I wasn’t a water drinker. I never used to eat vegetables. I loved KFC. And I used to have chest pain! I would anything I wanted to eat, since I thought I was “well and fine”.

Not Always Overnight…

Developing healthy eating habits doesn’t always happen overnight, but the fact that you are here means you’ve taken a step in the positive direction. The most important thing is to always move forward.

One step at a time.

Just be doing something in the positive direction. If you slip back a bit at anytime, don’t beat yourself up on it. Just move forward.

My life is totally changed now, to someone who eats plenty of delicious vegetables and fruits every day, cooks and fries with no oil, and drinks plenty of water. Chest pain has disappeared.

Our meals are delicious, taste much nicer than they used to taste, and I feel great! My family feels great! I’m so happy as well. Just simply knowing you are eating healthy and feeding your body what it needs for good subsistence makes you feel really good!

Nowadays, I always attribute every health condition to diet first. I always look at what they are eating, what they should be eating, and how they cook and prepare their meals.

Now I run free healthy, food for life cooking and nutrition classes, lessons and presentations on how to get maximum nutrition out of your meals and on reversing, combating and preventing lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cancer and others.

In his book, The Next Trillion, Paul Zane Pilzer talks about when he was 40 and how he thought he was “healthy”. He said he looked trim, looked fit, and had never been sick except the occasional common cold once or twice a year.

Now though, after seven years of strengthening his immune system, eating the right foods and taking care to make sure he’s getting maximum nutrition out of his meals, he said he felt younger at age 47 than he ever did at age 20, let alone 40. And this he had achieved through a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Wouldn’t you love to be able to say that? Isn’t it worth the effort to change your eating habits? Having your health is worth more than gold. It’s priceless.

Paul won’t have developed his healthy eating habits overnight. I didn’t either. So for you, don’t be upset if it takes longer than you would like.

Developing healthy eating habits is just like developing any other habit. Do you have any habits now – good or bad? Think about how the habits came to be. Apply it to your current scenario. Start gradually, incorporate the easier ones first (great tips to eating healthy).

You will see that you can do it. If I could do it, you can too! You will soon find that developing healthy eating habits is not rocket science.
